And on the Buffalo Roster

This was emailed to me by someone who is an Indians' fan. ] From Indians Prospect Insider: Minor league free agent outfielder Jason Cooper has left the Indians and signed with the NY Mets. While he has changed organizations, his playing destination in 2009 will not change. You see, the Mets new Triple-A affiliate is the Indians old Triple-A affiliate the Buffalo Bisons. Cooper has spent a lot of years now in a Bisons uniform, and this season will mark his sixth year as a Bison. He played in Buffalo in parts of the 2004 (16 games) and 2005 (73 games) seasons, and spent all of the 2006, 2007, and 2008 seasons in Buffalo. He is certainly a fan favorite at Dunn Tire park, and when he hangs it up he will most definitely have his number retired and his name entered in the Buffalo Hall of Fame. In fact, if he plays there all season and does not get hurt, he has a good chance to be the record holder or near record holder in virtually every offensive category. At the moment, he has played in 410 games as a Buffalo Bison which is the most in the Modern Era of the franchise. Cooper passed the record last August, which was formerly held by Buffalo Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Tom Prince who had played in 400 games with the team from 1988-1992. He also ranks 2nd in at-bats (1,359), 5th in hits (331), 2nd in doubles (81), 2nd in triples (19), 6th in home runs (49), and 2nd in RBI (212). Later

That's neat. I went to an Isotopes game a couple years ago and there was a guy who was a fixture for the Albuquerque team for a few seasons and was kinda the Crash Davis there. I'm sure this Cooper guy would've rather been in Cleveland the last 5 years or whatever, but it's cool that the fans have a player that they can feel is their own and sounds like he's OK with being there, too.
